Carolyn | 9836 comments For ACT I've just added Honeysuckle Creek : The Story of Tom Reid, a Little Dish and Neil Armstrong's First Step by Andrew Tink to the list. It was a really interesting account of the first moon landing and Australia's role in it (and not the version in "The Dish").

I've also added Candice Fox's three Crimson Lake novels to the QLD list.

The blurb says 'From the stark backroads of the Australian outback...' and I am hoping someone knows which states/territories are mentioned.

I often skim through people's reviews looking to see if anyone comments on the state a book is set in!! And I see from Carolyn's review here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... that she says "Mim decides to leave Victoria, somehow drop of the grid and and head to the Northern territory, and find a way to get to Indonesia", so perhaps it might be a good one for the NT...

TheMadHatter | 384 comments I wasn't going to do this challenge as I was struggling to come up with enough books. However, I "stole" Sanctuary by Judy Nunn in a secret santa last night and I have found some great reads in everyone else's lists so let us give this one a go :-)

Update: 3/7/21 Just finished The Kookaburra Creek Cafe and realised it is set in NSW not SA. Sigh. Already have 2 NSW books read. Changing to another TAS read for Wildflower Hill.
